High-precision single-pixel 3D calibration method using pseudo-phase matching

Abstract

Compressive sensing makes it possible to explore two-dimensional spatial information using a single-point detector. However, the reconstruction of the three-dimensional (3D) morphology using a single-point sensor is largely limited by the calibration. Here we demonstrate a pseudo-single-pixel camera calibration (PSPC) method using pseudo phase matching in stereo, which can perform 3D calibration of low-resolution images with the help of a high-resolution digital micromirror device (DMD) in the system. In this paper, we use a high-resolution CMOS to pre-image the DMD surface and successfully calibrate the spatial position of a single-point detector and the projector with the support of binocular stereo matching. Our system achieved sub-millimeter reconstructions of spheres, steps, and plaster portraits at low compression ratios with a high-speed digital light projector (DLP) and a highly sensitive single-point detector.
